Catch when the user is not connected to internet

Question

Is possible to get the moment the user is no longer connected to internet?

Like, the game is in main menu connected, and the wifi is no longer available and i want to show a message that will say that 'you are no longer connected'.

Is there a way ?

Hey,
 

Whenever there is a connection issue, you will get the onConnectDone callback with Connection Error result code. You can use this information to know that the connection has been broken and then you can show a dialog for no connection error on the screen.

If you are using Connection Resiliency, then you will get onConnectDone with Connection Error Recoverable, here you can call recover connection method.

If i disconnect the internet onconnectdone is not called. Is called only when I try to do something like get rooms info, create room, etc.

Which SDK are you using? Also make sure you are using the latest version of SDK?

How are you disconnecting from the Internet?

The latest SDK.
My phone is connected via usb reverse tethering, I just unplug the USB cable, maybe that can be the problem?

Hi Paul - can you mention the client sdk in which you are getting this behavior i.e Windows Phone or .Net or some other platform?

The SDK works by sending keep alive messages to the server. If it doesn't receive anything in response for 6 seconds it will raise onConnectDone with 5.

App42MultiPlayerGamingSDK-1.5.5
I'm using it with libGDX

I have tried this scenario and am getting the event on my connection request listener.

Can you do the following after WarpClient.initialize
- WarpClient.enableTrace(true);

This will print some additional debug traces to System.out. Do share that with us.
